Hymn
Blessed Assurance
Fanny Crosby

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
O, what a foretaste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Savior all the day long.

Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture now burst on my sight;
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.  Refrain

Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Savior am happy and blest;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.  Refrain


Scripture Reading
Genesis 3:8-24

Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden. But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?”

10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”

11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

12 The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”

The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,

“Cursed are you above all livestock
    and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
    and you will eat dust
    all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
    between you and the woman,
    and between your offspring and hers;
he will crush your head,
    and you will strike his heel.”

16 To the woman he said,

“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
    with painful labor you will give birth to children.
Your desire will be for your husband,
    and he will rule over you.”

17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’

“Cursed is the ground because of you;
    through painful toil you will eat food from it
    all the days of your life.
18 It will produce thorns and thistles for you,
    and you will eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your brow
    you will eat your food
until you return to the ground,
    since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
    and to dust you will return.”

20 Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the mother of all the living.

21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed them. 22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God banished him from the Garden of Eden to work the ground from which he had been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east side of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword flashing back and forth to guard the way to the tree of life.


Message
The State of Those Who Have Left God

No hero, king, or intellectual has ever been successful while separated from God. Even if they achieved worldly success, they had no peace; and because they were not children of God, they could not enter His embrace. This is why there have been more than 16,000 wars in history, including two Great World Wars. Even today, true peace is absent from this world. People try everything within their power to find joy, yet it is all in vain. They find themselves in greater suffering, sinking deeper into this corrupted world.

1. People live their lives in guilt.
1) Mankind hid among the trees of the garden, away from the Lord (Genesis 3:8).2) They were afraid because they were naked (Genesis 3:10).
3) They felt shame and humiliation (Genesis 3:11).

2. Mankind lives life without knowing the cause of failure.
1) God called Adam and asked where he was (Genesis 3:9).
2) He did not realize how fearsome sin could be (Genesis 3:11).
3) He gave excuses for his own wrongdoing (Genesis 3:12).
4) She passed the responsibility for her sin to others (Genesis 3:13).

3. Those who are separated from God live within curses.
1) The serpent received a curse worse than the other livestock and animals (Genesis 3:14).
2) The pain in childbearing became severe, and the husband was to rule over the wife (Genesis 3:16).
3) The land was cursed, yielding only through painful toil (Genesis 3:17).
4) The land had lost its original value (Genesis 3:18).

4. God gave the Gospel (Genesis 3:15).
Knowing that mankind could not solve their problems, God promised to send the offspring of the woman to crush the head of the serpent.

5. God gave them an opportunity (Genesis 3:22-24).

Conclusion. We have been saved through grace (Ephesians 2:8). To those of us who have received salvation, God has given the blessings of 24, 25, and eternity. If we enjoy these blessings from now on, God will grant us a ‘300%’ blessing—the filling of the Holy Spirit. He will raise us up as witnesses to save others.

1. Three Concentrations: 24
Concentrating three times a day—morning, afternoon, and night—is the practice of “24”.

2. Three Settings: 25
When we do this, the things of the Throne—platform, watchtower, and antenna— are set within us. This manifestation of God’s power is “25”.

3. Three Answers: Eternity
God will grant us answers that remain forever. These—answer (problems), renewal (conflicts), and opportunity (crises)—are the things of Eternity that transcend time and space.


Forum and Prayer

The Fundamental Problem of Man

Scripture Reading
Genesis 3:1-7

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?”

The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the garden, but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’”

“You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman. “For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”

When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. Then the eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.

The Fundamental Problem of Man

Many people are suffering from serious problems with no solution. These problems never disappear but only continue. Only the Bible reveals:

1. The incident of the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3:1-20)
Every problem started from this incident. Tempted by Satan, humanity left God. They could not hear God’s word and instead listened to what Satan said. This is the Genesis 3 incident, and it is still happening today.

2. The incident of the Nephilim (Gen. 6:4-5)
The incident of the Nephilim occurred during the time of Noah. Nephilim means being possessed by evil spirits. It means being seized by Satan.

3. The fallen tower of Babel (Gen. 11:1-8)
The incident of the Tower of Babel occurred. In Genesis 11, they built a tower to challenge God.

These three incidents continue to happen even now. Because of this, diseases of the spirit, heart, and mind occur.

1. The fundamental problem of man: the appearance of sin and Satan.

1) Ezekiel 28:12-14 Satan was an angel created, full of wisdom and glory.

2) Isaiah 14:10-14 He became corrupt and desired to become like God.

3) Revelation 12:1-9 Satan was hurled down with his angels.

4) Genesis 3:1-6 He deceived mankind, forcing them leave God.

5) Ephesians 2:1-2 He makes mankind, dead in their transgressions and sins, his servants, making them follow him and the ways of this world.

6) 2 Corinthians 11:14 He masquerades as an angel of light, deceiving mankind.

7) 1 Peter 5:8 He prowls around like a roaring lion looking for people to devour.

8) Judges 9:23 Evil spirits make mankind fall into animosity and conflict, and treachery.

9) 2 Corinthians 4:4-5 Satan blinds the minds of people so that they cannot see the glory of Christ.

10) Acts 16:16-18, Mark 5:1-10 Demons and legions of demons enter mankind. Mankind perishes from spiritual problems.

11) Ephesians 6:11-12 Satan uses schemes and took rulers, authorities, powers of the dark world, and forces of evil under his control.

2. Ways Satan brought Adam and Eve to destruction.

1) Genesis 3:1 He used the serpent that was close to Eve.

2) Genesis 3:1 He created resentment regarding God’s Word through negative framing.

3) Genesis 3:3 He took foothold when Eve was not holding accurately to God’s Word (Genesis 2:17) as the covenant.

4) Genesis 3:4 Satan deceived Eve with lies. (John 8:44 “father of lies”)

5) Genesis 3:5 He planted a conceited heart that they could be like God.

6) Genesis 3:6 Adam and Eve were mesmerized by the fruit and ate it. This was the disobedience to God’s Word.

7) Genesis 3:7 As a result, their spiritual eyes dimmed and their physical eyes opened.

3. The Consequence

1) Genesis 3:16-20 They were separated from God, suffering from all problems and difficulties.

2) John 8:44 They became children of the devil.

▣ The Only Solution: Christ

1) Genesis 3:15 He promised that the offspring of the woman would crush the head of the serpent.

2) Genesis 6:14 He promised that those who enter the ark will live.

3) Exodus 3:18 He promised liberation upon the blood sacrifice.

4) Isaiah 7:14 He promised Christ of Immanuel.

5) Matthew 16:16 (1 John 3:8) That Christ came and destroyed the work of the devil.


Galatians 2:20 From now on, everything is changing. You died on the cross. The resurrected Christ lives within you. Repeat this until it is imprinted.

Philippians 3:20 Your background is the throne. You need this power. That name is the name at which all things must submit.

2 Corinthians 12:1-10 Enter into prayer so deeply that you no longer even think of the “self.”

The Start of Eternal Things

Prayer Journal: February 21, 2026
17. May 2025 Core Training Service
Scripture Reading: Actc 19:8


Thank you. Today, what must our new family members do as well? You must grasp the message. Especially, if you start the infant, preschool, and children’s ministry, the greatest answer will come. Also, our church officers must absolutely grasp the covenant and do at least one thing regarding “How will I practice evangelism and missions?” Our pastors’ wives and pastors must establish one regional church each that focuses solely on evangelism while doing the 40-day Mount Olivet prayer.

As time passes, more than half of the entire world will go [this way]. Mental illnesses continue to arise. Because churches keep disappearing, spiritual problems continue to emerge. My expectation is that in places like Japan and America, more than half will suffer from mental illness. The spiritual problems of the 3 Organizations are serious, and in Japan, which should be the most blessed, idols are serious. Finally, Korean churches have also begun to close their doors. You must wake up and start the evangelism movement anew.

New family members, you must grasp the covenant that your entire lineage will be completely changed because of one person—you. To what extent should saints and church officers succeed in worship? You must ride the stream of the Word. As you receive that answer, it will reach a point where you think, “Ah, it seems the pastor will give me this kind of answer this Sunday.” You just need to enter into the Word to this extent. It becomes to the degree of, “Wait, I didn’t even say anything, but how does he know my home and my circumstances so well for the Word to come out like that?”

「 Eternity – Start 」
Today is the eternal start of the Infant, Preschool, and Children’s Mission Bureau. It is very important. However, some people receive a great answer from God even when they first believe. For example, a person like Rahab the prostitute; she believed for the first time, yet such works occurred. Some people received it without knowing when they were young, yet the work of world evangelization was achieved. Also, as travelers and scattered ones, they have no power, right? Yet world evangelization occurred through these people. Why is that?

▣ Introduction_ Accurate Covenant (Mission) – [ 7 · 7 · 7 ]

It is because they grasped the accurate covenant.

1. Posterity (Strength, Happiness)
Mainly when the accurate covenant is delivered to the posterity, God works with immense blessings beyond your knowing. That is why we do Sunday school, children’s ministry, and so on. No matter how much you try to grasp the accurate covenant, if you don’t look at it this way, it doesn’t become the accurate covenant. Therefore, from now on, elders and church officers must unconditionally become the main figures of the Friday-Saturday-Sunday age. Answers that change the world will occur. Evidence will appear in the scripture as well, right? You must possess this mission: “Ah! I must deliver the accurate covenant to our posterity!” What is the accurate covenant?

2. Watchman of the Age (Bible – Completion)
It is making them into the watchmen of the age. It is establishing our posterity as the watchmen who save the age. However, it is simple.
1) Gospel – Power – Bartizan (Throne)
It is establishing the bartizan with this power of the Gospel. Without a bartizan, one cannot be a watchman.
2) Evangelism, Missions – Journey (Path)
And you must let them know what the journey of evangelism and missions is. Then, the tremendous blessing of the throne is seen. This must be seen. And the path of evangelism and missions is seen. Only then can they go on the journey.
If our Remnant realizes the Gospel and prays, it becomes like this. This is something that must be done. You didn’t do this? Then it is the worst parent and the worst church. If you don’t let the Remnant know this, that is a cursed church. That is why they close doors. People don’t know anything. Spiritually, a tremendous world war is going back and forth. When you grasp this covenant and try to practice evangelism, Satan trembles. So it is not that he is attacking you; he is struggling in agony. When you catch a snake, try hitting its head. Even as it dies, it moves significantly. It is struggling in agony.
3) Revival – Guidepost (Memorial)
Therefore, you must truly establish this guidepost of blessing that revives the church and the field. Then, a memorial stands on the path you and our Remnant go. This is seen. The power of the throne is seen, the path of evangelism and missions is seen, and the guidepost is seen.
This is the promise in the Bible, and Jesus completed it. Ultimately, this is the promise in the Bible, so you must not let them be ignorant of it. Jesus completely finished it at Mount Olivet before He left. This must be delivered. What must be done with this?

3. Imprint (Parent), Root (Teacher), Nature (Life)
It is imprinting it. This imprinting is mainly done through the parents. That is why for children, infants, preschoolers, and the expectant mothers/infants, the parent is more important. The rooting must mainly be done through the church. And this becoming one’s nature happens as the Remnant lives their life.
This important responsibility lies with us. Therefore, new family members must absolutely stake their lives. Why? Because you were in the spiritual problems of your lineage for a long time, you must completely grasp this covenant for your children and yourself.

Posterity (Strength, Happiness)
Now, the fact that this bartizan was made means that praying with this blessing becomes your greatest strength and makes you happy. That is the standard. Is praying truly a strength to you? Are you happy? Then the bartizan has been made. This must be delivered to the posterity.
When the posterity begins to receive answers, what is the greatest grace? “Enjoying this is my greatest strength. Doing this is what makes me happiest.” Then the bartizan has been formed. Then the rest is actually rooting and becoming one’s nature.
If there are those who are sick, do not worry; the illness is healed only when this is done. When you become filled with this, you are healed. In a way, if this isn’t done, there’s no need to be healed, is there? And it won’t be healed either. The pain can be treated temporarily at a hospital. But it isn’t “healed.” There is no such thing that arises suddenly. it has been a long time.
From now on, you must be careful with food and do everything. However, you must gain strength in prayer. I will talk about it tomorrow at the Church Officers’ Graduate School, but elders, deaconesses, and those who are older must gain strength now or it won’t work. You must do it now. To what extent must you gain strength? You must be okay even if you hardly slept and didn’t do anything. Even I think it is mysterious. When I ride a car or sit like this, I doze off. Why? Because I didn’t sleep. Even so, when I wake up, there’s nothing wrong.

Accurate Covenant (Mission) – [ 7 · 7 · 7 ]
This (7·7·7) prayer is so happy to me and it is a strength to me. As I was doing this (Intro 2), it became like this (7·7·7). It could be less for some or more for others; that differs by individual. As I continued this (Intro 2) prayer, it became like this (7·7·7). “Ah, this is the bartizan, journey, and guidepost!” The answers were seen like this. You must absolutely receive this blessing. If a parent does not deliver this blessing to their child? You are giving them the truly wrong thing. I say it again, you are making your child suffer for a lifetime. Therefore, the church must possess this mission. Parents almost cannot do it. So the church must do it. The church must not do other things. How can you overcome the darkness when you don’t even know the Gospel? How can you save the world when you don’t know evangelism and missions, and you don’t know the path? I must have the ability to establish this memorial, it must become 300%, but you can’t do it.

▣ Main _ Evidence

Evidence, you must grasp the evidence.

1. The Era of Egypt
Now, it is the era of Egypt. Because two people who grasped this covenant appeared, it was over. A person named Joseph grasped this covenant. And this (Intro 2) prayer began. A person named Jochebed grasped this covenant and delivered it to Moses. She delivered it starting right from the expectant mother/infant stage, from the infant stage. This is the evidence. In fact, there is no one who received as many answers as Moses. Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy—Moses wrote these five, and it is all in there. So he imprinted, rooted, and natured it. It is so important. This is your mission. If the church doesn’t do this, it absolutely won’t work.

2. The Era of the Philistines
Look, isn’t the entire Bible the evidence? The era of the Philistines arrived and they continually tormented Israel. 14 judges appeared, but they couldn’t block it. Then, it just came out from one place. A person named Hannah prayed, and a figure named Samuel emerged. The posterity Samuel established was David. The figure David emerged. There is no need even to compete. The work just occurred. This is the evidence.
The word “Remnant” is not a word you can use carelessly. Every time the Gospel disappeared in the Bible, the posterity was established. So there are those who ask, “What is a Remnant?” but that is truly being ignorant. It is the most important word in the Bible, Remnant. The remaining one; they were gone after being taken as captives, but the remaining one. Israel had disappeared, but the remaining one. To put it simply, the one with the Gospel. To be more accurate, the posterity with the Gospel. That is what a Remnant is. Since the whole world must understand, we used the English word. If we said “remaining one” or “posterity [in Korean],” people in other countries wouldn’t understand.

3. The Era of Assyria, the Era of Aram
Since they don’t understand, this kind of thing arrives again. The era of Assyria arrives. Finally, this Assyria takes away Northern Israel. It is a miserable thing, isn’t it? They took away all the men of Israel. Do you know what they did? They sold them as slaves in the world market. It was a real mess, right? Even at this time, the posterity with the Gospel changed the world.
The era of Assyria and Aram is the same era. At this time, as you know, a figure named Hezekiah emerged. He contacted Assyria. “Until now, my father the king paid taxes to you, but from now on, I can’t.” He was right, wasn’t he? “Why must we pay taxes to you?” He was right, wasn’t he? They had paid because they were scared. Assyria was that strong of a nation. Then would Assyria just sit still? They brought an army of 185,000. They would eliminate them, that was it. As you know, how much did King Hezekiah pray? He prayed with his life on the line, and a miracle occurred. It was during the night when people sleep, and all 185,000 Assyrian soldiers died. Clearly, 2 Kings 19:35 says, “The angel of the Lord… struck down.” So Assyria was in a mess.
Because they continually miss this blessing—you must not miss this. Because they missed it, now they were caught by the nation of Aram. A figure emerged who defeated them without fighting: Elisha. He won without fighting. You must deliver this. He won without fighting, that’s it.

4. The Era of Babylon
They miss it again. So then the era of Babylon arrived. It arrives like this. Even then, those who possess this covenant emerge among the posterity. In fact, one person is enough. Figures like Daniel, the three young men, Esther, Zerubbabel, Haggai, and Nehemiah emerged. God overturned it. And eventually, they preached the Gospel and returned. Because the Gospel is not safe. Because they don’t know evangelism and missions. If you don’t know evangelism and missions, your posterity goes as slaves. You must go to preach the Gospel. You must not go as slaves.

5. The Era of Rome, the Era of Wanderers
Look at the last one. The era of Rome. Finally, the era of wanderers arrives. The people who possessed this (Intro) answer went and did world evangelization again. That is why we teach our posterity.

▣ Conclusion_ [ Practice ]

Practice it now. You must surely do several things.

[ 5 Streams ]
What you must take with you is, first, confirm the five streams. This is something you confirm. Because it is confirming, it is very easy.

Word: To what extent am I within the fulfillment of the Word right now? I must confirm. Because it differs by person, I must confirm.
Prayer: Because prayer answers clearly come, what kind of prayer am I within? I must confirm.
Worship: While listening to the entire message, what kind of Word stream am I within when I worship tomorrow? I must confirm.
Field: I must grasp the spiritual stream of the field I am in, the actual field.
Nations: I can’t go to the whole world. However, you must be doing “24” for at least one nation. That means you must know that stream. You don’t even know if the missionary is sick. There are that many people who don’t do “24.” Even if a missionary doesn’t ask for anything, you should know. People think it’s enough just to give money without any interest. That is why they never know. For example, in nations like those that are Muslim, they don’t even know if a missionary is taken away. So the word to do “24” isn’t about doing something difficult. It’s that you know the stream.

Witness
Then you will surely become witnesses. You go as witnesses, but where do you go? The Three Courts. I am going as a witness. The Friday-Saturday-Sunday age, the Meditation age. I’m saying you go as a witness. And tomorrow, you go to tomorrow’s worship with the evidence, seeing another stream and following the evidence. Today’s core is the Friday-Saturday-Sunday age. It means you summarize the entire week. It should be that way, right? It isn’t a simple message. You summarize and then tomorrow you ride the stream and start anew. Then the answers cannot fail to come. The answers that transcend time and space, truly unprecedented answers, will come to you.

Last Sunday’s 2nd service sermon was “Unprecedented,” and it needs a little more explanation. It is an unprecedented event like “the sun and moon stopping has never happened before and will never happen again.” That is correct. What would we do if the sun kept stopping? However, for all of you, there is an unprecedented blessing. Today the executive committee gathered, and I heard Pastor’s wife Park Woo-young and Senior Deaconess Im Myung-hee reporting on the children’s ministry; as I heard it, I had this thought inside: “They have received an unprecedented blessing!” Such people have not existed in the past and will not exist in the future. How great of a blessing is that? You must find this.

A certain Remnant became a judicial officer and came to greet me. He said, “I have received an appointment as a judge.” So I said, “There are many judges. There is no judge who correctly knows Christ. Remember only that.” You will stand as amazing witnesses.

And pastors’ wives and pastors—I’m going to talk about it at this retreat—start the 40-day prayer. Unconditionally establish the absolute bartizan, absolute journey, and absolute guidepost, and what do you call that combined? A regional church that evangelizes. You must not do other things. Buildings are not needed. That costs money. What organization? It’s not needed. All of that is fake. Gathering with people you are close to? That is even worse. What kind of church has “close people”? Having people you like and people you dislike—that is a non-believer. It’s not that. Try making a regional church that only does evangelism. If you make just a few, a great history will occur in your church. You don’t actually do it, but you just suffer and worry, don’t you? Do it. When you announce, “This is an evangelism regional church,” don’t do it carelessly.

In my case, once I do it, I must do it certainly. I can send someone else to the Saha region. When I sent Baek Woon-gyu to the Saha region, I sent him after preparing 300%. You shouldn’t just do it. You must prepare exactly 300%. The message is already prepared, and the person to go is prepared. This is 100%. As I looked at the field myself, I thought, “If I go to that field, I can just do a school.” Everything is prepared. Then, isn’t it about continuing here? To continue, what must be done? There must be a person there to continue it, and ultimately a disciple must emerge. Almost everything is prepared. I prepared all the people to continue helping there. What happened? Of all things, when he went, a younger brother I was close to in the past is running a restaurant there and is the head of the merchants’ association. Because he is very unique, he will help out very well. Just as it starts like that—could this truly be God’s plan?—he [Satan] struggles in agony. The entire city of Busan rose up and struggled in agony. It was beyond imagination. Because he struggled so much, I thought, “Perhaps it isn’t God’s time schedule yet,” and I folded it. Saying, “Let’s just do well in our village.” They were picking a fight. “Why are you coming to someone else’s neighborhood to evangelize?” was the word. To the word to me, “Why are you coming to someone else’s neighborhood to evangelize?” I said, “Didn’t Jesus say to go to the ends of the earth?” There are beggars, right? In the past, there were ragpickers. There were many beggars who picked up paper in the past. There aren’t any now, but there were many in the past. Ragpickers, beggars—but those people have a “territory” [nawabari]. They’ve decided among themselves, “You only pick up here. We’ll pick up here.” So I thought, “Wow, even this has a territory.” So I folded it, but I will start.

How? God did that so that you would do it. You must do it in the whole world. A regional church that only does evangelism, a regional church that completely receives the guidance of the Holy Spirit, a regional church that completely waits for the work of the Holy Spirit, a regional church that bears the fruit of the fullness of the Holy Spirit. That is what God wants. If you don’t do this, it is a big problem. Churches across the world are closing doors. Korea has also begun to close. A disaster arrives.

You must grasp this covenant, and I will view the rest as the scattered disciples.

Why Do We Need to Continue with the Word?

Hebrews 5:13-14. Anyone who lives on milk, being still an infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil.


Just as a person with a weak digestive system cannot break down the nutrients they consume, a spiritually immature person lacks the capacity to process the challenges they face in life. They remain in a state of spiritual infancy, dependent on “milk” because they are not yet ready for the solid food of deeper truth (Hebrews 5:12-13).

Because they lack spiritual maturity, they have no strength to overcome their own weaknesses, the lingering scars of the past, the challenging reality of today, or the paralyzing uncertainty of the future. In this fragile state, they often suffer from broken hearts and fractured minds. Consequently, they become obsessed with the temporary things of the world and inadvertently harbor poisonous thoughts—loneliness, sorrow, hatred, resentment, and despair.

Without the Word of life to anchor them, they labor in vain, trapped in a cycle of grumbling and arguing like an infant. They find themselves driven by a “warped and crooked generation,” and the harder they try to escape the quicksand of life through human effort, the deeper and faster they sink into the pit (Philippians 2:14-16).

However, if one continues in the Word and chooses to obey, God’s love truly begins to work within them. This transformation is the evidence that they are living in Him (1 John 2:5). The Word is not just for comfort; it is the most powerful weapon in the believer’s arsenal against the devil.

We are commanded to “take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” (Ephesians 6:17). Knowing this, Jesus Himself defeated the devil’s temptations by declaring the written Word of God (Luke 4:4, 8, 12). This is why a pure Word movement—the consistent, accurate proclamation of the gospel—is critical in our spiritual struggles against the enemy.

When the people of Jerusalem received the Word of God from Peter on the day of Pentecost, they didn’t just gain knowledge; they saw visions and dreamed dreams (Acts 2:17). That singular encounter with the Word empowered them to proclaim the gospel to the ends of the earth.

Likewise, if we continue to receive the Word with an open and obedient heart, the Holy Spirit will begin a transformative work in our lives that moves us from the frailty of infancy to the authority of spiritual maturity.


Prayer. Father, I keep Your Word in my heart this morning. By the power of Your living Word, heal me and strengthen me so that I may grow in faith in Christ Jesus and stand firm against the schemes of the enemy. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

He Abides

Hymn
He Abides
Herbert Buffum

I’m rejoicing night and day
As I walk the narrow way,
For the hand of God in all my life I see;
And the reason of my bliss,
Yes, the secret all is this:
That the Comforter abides with me.

He abides, He abides;
Hallelujah, He abides with me!
I’m rejoicing night and day
As I walk the narrow way,
For the Comforter abides with me.

Once my heart was full of sin,
Once I had no peace within,
Till I heard how Jesus died upon the tree;
Then I fell down at His feet,
And there came a peace so sweet;
Now the Comforter abides with me.

He is with me everywhere,
And He knows my every care;
I’m as happy as a bird and just as free;
For the Spirit has control;
Jesus satisfies my soul,
Since the Comforter abides with me.

There’s no thirsting for the things
Of the world—they’ve taken wings;
Long ago I gave them up, and instantly
All my night was turned to day,
All my burdens rolled away;
Now the Comforter abides with me.

Confession of Faith
The Apostles’ Creed

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, Our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven,
And is seated at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty;
From thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
The holy universal Church,
The communion of saints,
The forgiveness of sins,
The resurrection of the body
And life everlasting. Amen.

O For a Thousand Tongues to Sing
Charles Wesley 

O for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer’s praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of his grace!

My gracious Master and my God,
Assist me to proclaim,
To spread through all the earth abroad
The honors of your name.

Jesus! the name that charms our fears,
That bids our sorrows cease;
‘Tis music in the sinner’s ears,
‘Tis life and health and peace.

He breaks the power of cancelled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.

To God all glory, praise, and love
Be now and ever given
By saints below and saints above,
The Church in earth and heaven.

John 3

Leader: For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
People: that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Leader: For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world,
People: but to save the world through him.

Leader: Whoever believes in him is not condemned,
People: but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.

Leader: This is the verdict: Light has come into the world,
People: but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil.

Leader: Everyone who does evil hates the light,
People: and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.

Leader: But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light,
People: so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.


Hymn
Jesus Paid It All
Elvina M. Hall

I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small,
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy pow’r and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone. Refrain

For nothing good have I
Where by Thy grace to claim;
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb. Refrain

And when, before the throne,
I stand in Him complete,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
My lips shall still repeat. Refrain


Scripture Reading
Exodus 3:1-18
Carmetta Williams

Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”

When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”

And Moses said, “Here I am.”

“Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

The Lord said, “I have indeed seen the misery of my people in Egypt. I have heard them crying out because of their slave drivers, and I am concerned about their suffering. So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey—the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites. And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them. 10 So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

11 But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

12 And God said, “I will be with you. And this will be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you will worship God on this mountain.”

13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is his name?’ Then what shall I tell them?”

14 God said to Moses, “I am who I am. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”

15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob—has sent me to you.’

“This is my name forever,
    the name you shall call me
    from generation to generation.

16 “Go, assemble the elders of Israel and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen what has been done to you in Egypt. 17 And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’

18 “The elders of Israel will listen to you. Then you and the elders are to go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. Let us take a three-day journey into the wilderness to offer sacrifices to the Lord our God.’

We Will Keep Our Faith Alive!
Don Besig · Nancy Price

Gathered here, within this place,
We can share in God’s redeeming grace.
There’s no room for doubt or fear;
We can feel His presence here.
As we face each passing day,
We will serve and honor and obey;
And if hope should start to dim,
We will know our trust is in Him.

And we will keep our faith alive,
God will always be our guide.
Through the darkest night, 
We will see God’s light.
We will keep our faith alive!

We will live as God has planned,
Though at times we may not understand.
Many things we may not see,
But our faith will help us believe.
From His Word we learn the truth;
Through His love we all are born anew.
With His help, we will not fail
For we know our God will prevail.  Chorus

The Preparation During the Remnant Years that Changes the World

Prayer Journal: February 20, 2026
17. May 2025 Remnant & TCK Study of Evangelism
Scripture Reading: Isaiah 6:13


Among the Remnants, there will be those who say, “I haven’t discovered my talent.” That might actually be better. A talent discovered right now without prayer might not be your own. Many people struggle for a lifetime because of that. There will be those who say, “Not much is working out for me right now.” That could be much better. Why is that? What is “working out” isn’t necessarily what is right. There are people who live well without knowing God at all. That becomes a problem later. Perhaps, the fact that you have no background and your family situation isn’t good might be better.

[RT – Preparation – World]
What is prepared during the Remnant years changes the world. So what must happen? It’s okay even if you have no background.

▣ Introduction _ Watchman

This must be realized during the Remnant years. This is what must be imprinted first. If success is imprinted first without this? It’s not much help. That success will “help” you for a lifetime while simultaneously making things not work out for a lifetime. If you become a judge or succeed without the Gospel entering you at all, you might have succeeded, but the Gospel may never enter you for your entire life. It won’t enter even when you are at the brink of death. This must happen first during the Remnant years.
If you know what a watchman is, you move the world.

[Bartizan]
If you know what a watchman is, you make a bartizan. It is the tremendous bartizan given by Christ.

[Journey] [Guidepost]
You make these. They are continuously made as you live. How important this is.

[Bartizan] – Prayer (Strength)
The fact that a bartizan was made means you haven’t just realized the Gospel, but you’ve realized what prayer is and what strength is.

[Journey] – Evangelism (Path)
Now, a journey means that while it’s true you’ve realized evangelism, the path is seen. How important this is.

[Guidepost] – Word (Memorial)
A guidepost means that while it’s true many Words are fulfilled, it is the true success of establishing a memorial. If you look closely at history, there are people who established historical memorials. Almost all of these people are the people of the covenant. For example, among several of the greatest events in the world, I think this is the greatest: The liberation of Black people. It is the greatest thing. Liberating Black people. Lincoln did it. That is why Lincoln is respected. Lincoln prayed from the time he was young. The covenant he grasped then was Galatians 3:28. He completely established a memorial. In Christ, whether a Gentile or anyone, all are one. It is important for Remnants to possess this.

▣ Main

Then, I will introduce several Bible verses.

1. Genesis 37:1-11
This is what Joseph possessed when he was young. It is continuously completed as you live. It happens in ordinary times, and it happens even more during times of crisis. When he was young, Joseph grasped the entire covenant. It surely changes the whole world. That is why the Remnant is important, and infant/preschool education is important. It is a matter of what you believe first. This is important. Whether strength is imprinted first or scars are imprinted first is extremely important. If scars are imprinted first, you live with those scars for a lifetime. People with large scars cannot even lead a normal life. If it becomes a scar, you collapse. In this way, the work you are doing is important.

3. 1 Samuel 3:1-10
It already becomes imprinted when you are young. The covenant is imprinted, and while praying, you already receive God’s answer. When young. “While Samuel was alive, there was no war.” The Philistines, who sparked so many wars, could not enter while Samuel was alive. “Those who saw Samuel believed in God.” What a blessing. You might know what the work you are doing is, but it is more than just knowing.

4. Psalm 78:70-72
There are many shepherds. But while other shepherds were sleeping and playing, at that time, he did praise, prayer, and the Word. If you look closely, he was a shepherd, but it said God raised him as a king. It is different.

5. 2 Kings 2:9-11
Elisha, who possessed the covenant from the time he was young, held onto this covenant even when parting with Elijah. The prophet Isaiah prophesied. “You will become captives in Babylon.” He prophesied. Because of that, Isaiah died. “When you go to Babylon, it will happen like this. The remnant—the stump—will arise.” He prophesied it all. Someone appeared who understood that. They probably heard it when they were young, right?

6. Daniel 1:8-9
It’s Daniel. He heard it when he was young and became a captive. Other people looked at Isaiah’s words as something ridiculous. They even killed Isaiah, calling him pro-Babylon. However, Daniel grasped that as the covenant. One person, Daniel, completely changed Babylon. He changed King Nebuchadnezzar. He interpreted all of Belshazzar’s dreams. Seeing Daniel, King Darius was also moved. What did Darius say? He said, “The Most High, living God.” Daniel even influenced King Cyrus. He issued a decree for Israel to return and build the temple. You don’t know what will happen. Saying “you don’t know” isn’t a word of unbelief; it’s because it’s so great that you cannot imagine it.

7. Acts 17:1, 18:4, 19:8
Why did Paul preach the Gospel so urgently? If he didn’t, in a little while, Israel would disappear. So he went to the synagogues. When Israel disappeared and people were scattered, these people were swept into it. These are the people to whom God gave strength. They did world evangelization. No one can block it. It transcends imagination. To what extent is the Gospel we possess? It cannot be expressed in words. John Calvin said so. There is a book called Institutes of the Christian Religion. I haven’t read it all. It’s too thick. Calvin wrote it. When he was 27. It’s amazing. At age 27, he completed the Institutes. At the very end, it is written: “I believe it, but I cannot express it in words.” You believe it, but you cannot express it in words. It’s like that.

▣ Conclusion _ Future

Find the future. Therefore, all of life right now is a camp. Everything is evidence. A difficulty has come? A matter of evidence has come. You are living a very hard life right now? You are creating a matter of evidence. People thought Israel was facing difficulty. “Why are you telling us to cross the Red Sea?” “Why are you telling us to cross the Jordan?” They crossed because of this, and because of that, the hearts of the enemies melted. Because of the suffering you endure, through that evidence, Satan is bound. I will pray.

Prayer. We thank God. Thank You for giving us the covenant. Thank You for giving us the grace to raise Remnants. May God receive infinite glory. In the future, may the work of breaking all darkness take place. May the darkness that blocks the Gospel within the church be completely bound. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

The Author of Scripture: The Holy Spirit

2 Peter 1:21. For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.


God has sovereignly prepared everything for an accurate “Word movement” to take place exactly where we are. This is not just a religious activity; it is the only way to save our nations and the world from the spiritual darkness that covers the earth. But why is the Word so central to this salvation?

The answer lies in the nature of the Word itself. The Word is not merely a collection of historical texts; the Word is God Himself (John 1:1-2). It possesses the absolute power to create; the entire universe was formed at God’s command so that the visible world was made out of things that were not previously visible (Hebrews 11:3).

Furthermore, the Word has the supernatural power to heal and restore. It is alive and active, sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating to the deepest parts of our being—dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow—and judging the very thoughts and attitudes of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).

God’s desire is for us to see visions and dream dreams through the lens of His Word (Acts 2:17). He wants us to experience the same transformative power that the Early Church experienced as they devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and fellowship (Acts 2:42-47). This lifestyle must continue until our Lord Jesus comes again (1 John 2:28).

There is a specific blessing promised to the one who reads the words of this prophecy and to those who hear and take it to heart (Revelation 1:3). Preparing for the future is impossible without the Word movement God desires, for it is only through His living breath that we can navigate the uncertainties of tomorrow. When we anchor our lives in this divine flow, the Word becomes a lamp that illuminates the hidden path of our mission and a shield against the deception of the age.

Nothing in the written Word of God originated from human will. Instead, people were led by the Holy Spirit and spoke words directly from God (2 Peter 1:21). Therefore, when we hold onto the Word as our spiritual lifeline, its tremendous power is displayed in our physical lives. The Word provides us with spiritual discernment that the world cannot grasp. A person without the Spirit considers the things of God as foolishness because they are only discerned through the Spirit (1 Corinthians 2:14). Without this spiritual vision, it is impossible to overcome a world influenced by unseen spiritual forces.

How we receive the Word determines our entire future. This is why Jesus challenged Nicodemus, a renowned scholar of Scripture, with a fundamental truth: no one can see or enter the kingdom of God unless they are born again of water and the Spirit (John 3:3, 3:5). Just as flesh gives birth to flesh, only the Spirit gives birth to spirit. An unborn baby cannot crave milk; likewise, only those born into God’s family can truly crave and understand the “sincere milk” of the Word.

This is the reason we must focus on a “life movement” within our Word movement. Without the spark of spiritual life, a Word movement becomes a mere academic Bible study, producing more people like Nicodemus—knowledgeable but spiritually powerless. Whenever you open your Bible, you must rely on the power and guidance of the Holy Spirit, the true Author of Scripture, who promised to teach you and remind you of everything Jesus said (John 14:26).

Start with the Word that comes to you through the pulpit of your local church. Meditate on the Word given for today and ask the Holy Spirit for the wisdom to discover God’s specific will for your life. Try to connect this Word to every meeting, every event, and every person through prayer (Ephesians 6:18). As you do, you will witness God’s sovereign purpose and His desire being accomplished through you.


Prayer. Father, I thank You for the Word that has come to me today. Open my spiritual eyes to see Your desire and purpose for my life. I choose to follow the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the Author of Scripture, in all things. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

The Unprecedented and Never-Repeated Answer

Prayer Journal: February 19, 2026
11. May 2025 Immanuel Church Sunday Worship 1st Service
Scripture Reading: Joshua 10:12-14


It is an unprecedented answer. You must challenge this through prayer. As I mentioned in the first service, the reason most people do not receive prayer answers is not a lack of faith. It is that they fail to see correctly. The Amorite allied forces invaded. One could say they met a tremendous crisis. Joshua did not see it that way. In today’s scripture, a tremendous secret of prayer emerges. A specific prayer that Joshua offered before God is recorded. You must remember this.

▣ Introduction

1. Slave (Genesis 41:38)
Whenever a crisis arrived, God prepared this answer. We must briefly look at the stream of the Bible. Joseph, who possessed “Only Gospel,” was sold to Egypt as a slave. In Jacob’s household, Joseph was the only one who realized World Evangelization. If you are not careful, you can see things incorrectly. You might think, “How could my brothers sell me?” If you see it that way, you fall into despair. Joseph did not see it that way. He asked, “With what plan is Jehovah leading me like this?” God gave Joseph an unprecedented answer. He made him the Governor. Could such a thing happen? This is the choice you must always make in your walk of faith. Because many people think incorrectly, they do not receive answers. Is Egypt a superpower? If you think so, you will never receive an answer. Egypt was a nation in the greatest crisis. The Israelites exited Egypt in the Exodus. People keep writing books and making movies about how “we defeated Egypt.” That is why they don’t receive answers. We must see correctly.

2. Exodus 2:1-10
As you know, the children of Israel were all about to die. At this time, God gave an unprecedented answer to Moses and Jochebed.

3. Jethro
At this time, a person who helped Moses appeared: Jethro. God gave an unprecedented answer.

4. Joshua
5. Caleb
Today, God gave an unprecedented answer to Joshua and Caleb. If you look at the scene, what happened? The allied forces came, and the Israelites fought. As they fought, the sun began to set. What happens when the sun sets? For the Israelites, this was a new path. For the Amorite allies, it was their home neighborhood. Then they would lose the war, wouldn’t they? At that moment, an unprecedented history occurred: the sun and moon stopped. You must look into the covenant regarding this.

▣ Main: Unprecedented

1. The Start
What is the start of an unprecedented answer? Because you are qualified to receive this answer, you must know what the start is. You might pass over this easily because it is a familiar passage. It is a familiar passage, but you must receive the answer.

[Absolute Impossibility]: Joshua challenged absolute impossibility.
[Accurate Covenant]: With the accurate covenant. When a crisis comes, we almost always judge incorrectly. The start of this unprecedented answer was Joshua grasping an unprecedented covenant. In verse 6, it says the kings of the Amorites came to attack us.

1) Verse 6 – Prayer: “The Amorite allies have come to attack us” was Joshua’s prayer. However, in verse 8, it says: Jehovah spoke this way. Do not be afraid. I have delivered them all into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you.
2) Verse 8: This covenant was given in advance. No matter what extreme situation you meet, if you grasp the accurate covenant, you can overcome absolute impossibility. Many people look at the situation and get scared. They look at reality and are terrified. I tell my secretaries often: Do not fight. No matter what, do not fight. Did we win? That’s not winning. Did we lose? That’s not losing. God’s work comes after that. Because people see incidents and work incorrectly, they cannot see God’s Word correctly. The Amorite allies invaded, but Joshua did not see it as a crisis. This is important. He held the accurate covenant regarding God. Do not be afraid. Didn’t I tell you before? Didn’t I say I already gave you this land? We are shaken by even small things like this. You must receive an unprecedented answer. World Evangelization is possible only when you receive an unprecedented answer. He said not one person would be able to withstand you.
3) Verse 11: We must look at one more verse. It is verse 11. While the war was going on, suddenly hailstones like rocks fell from the sky. What happens if hailstones the size of rocks fall? The Bible records that more died from the hailstones than those killed by the sword. It is the sign that God is with them. God sent a sign to Joshua, who was completely unshaken. He blocked the enemy by sending hail. This is the start of receiving an unprecedented answer.

2. The Process
Second, the process of receiving an unprecedented answer emerges. This also cannot be ignored. A process appears, and what happened?

[Night]: Night fell. What happens when the sun sets? It looks like it is absolutely impossible.
[Absolute Plan]: No. At this time, following the first service message, what did Joshua’s army grasp? They grasped God’s absolute plan. Always do it that way. Wait and see if an answer comes or not. God’s absolute plan is to enter the land of Canaan. The dark night cannot block the path. The dark night cannot block God’s plan. Here, something important emerges. What comes out? In front of verse 12, it says, “He said to Jehovah.” This is important.

Verse 12: Grasping the covenant firmly, night has come, and there is no human solution. “He said to Jehovah.” To put it simply, he offered an urgent prayer. When you meet too much difficulty, you cannot help others. If I have caught a truly terminal disease, who can help me? However, you must experience one thing. While I truly pray with everything devoted to God, I must experience what God’s work is. Night has come. Night cannot block Jehovah’s plan. What does this mean?

1) Wilderness: During that time in the wilderness, Joshua saw.
2) Moses: He saw God being with Moses.
3) Canaan: More importantly, he received the promise of entering Canaan. Night is not the problem. It is grasping God’s absolute plan.

3. The Answer
At this point, the third thing emerged. There is a process for an unprecedented answer, but what kind of answer actually comes? An amazing thing occurs. What kind of answer did God give at this time?

[Absolute Answer]: He gave an absolute answer, not just a regular one. What did he say?
Sun: “Sun, stand still over Gibeon, and moon, over the Valley of Aijalon.”

1) Prayer of Authority: This is a different story. The sun and moon stopped, but what did it say? It says, “He said to Jehovah: Sun, Moon…” It is verse 12. It is a prayer of authority. You don’t really believe it and you think of it as a casual thing, but you have this authority. The Moody Institute of Science actually provided evidence. Records of the sun stopping have surfaced. An amazing thing occurs. In verse 13, until the time of taking vengeance on the enemy, the sun stayed in the middle of the sky all day. What does this mean? It means a prayer that does not give up began.

2) Prayer That Does Not Give Up: If it is God’s will, you must not give up. There is no need to be stubborn if it isn’t God’s will, but if it is, you must not give up. All day long. There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the Lord listened to a human being.

3) The Prayer of That Day: Point number 3 is important. God has “the prayer of that day” toward Joshua and toward you. Have you never experienced it? You must. It is not a simple prayer. There is the prayer of authority, the prayer that does not give up, and the prayer of that day. If you just look at the book of Joshua, it is nothing more than Bible study. If you grasp this covenant, true answers arrive. When the greatest difficulty comes, God gives the greatest answer. You must not miss this. A problem that people cannot help with has come to you, but God gives you the best thing. You must understand this.

▣ Conclusion

[Experience]
Therefore, it is today’s conclusion. You must receive an answer at least once. What is it?

1. Mount Horeb
Many important histories occur at Mount Horeb. Moses, who committed a murder and fled, had nowhere to go, right? He fled to Midian and spent 40 years. When he turned 80, the experience happened here. “Take the Israelites out. Go to offer a blood sacrifice. I will be with you with my mighty hand. Tell my people. Tell the elders. Tell Pharaoh the King.” An amazing thing occurred at the most difficult time. Also, this isn’t just a one-time thing. Mount Horeb appears several times. What else? It is the place where Elijah fled when he suffered the greatest difficulty. He was fleeing, unable to reach Mount Horeb, and collapsed under a broom bush. At that time, God sent an angel to give him water and bread, making him gain a mysterious strength. It was for 40 days and nights. He made him walk, but where did he make him go? He made him go to Mount Horeb. At that time, He gave a truly new answer. You must experience this.

2. Babylon
This answer also occurred in Babylon. We are talking about “unprecedented.” To the people of God who were about to die in Babylon, He gave an unprecedented answer then. Do you have many of these experiences? I do. God prepared an unprecedented answer.

3. Mount Olivet
It was the most difficult time. Israel legally framed the Early Church as a heresy. They even framed them legally with lies. The Early Church never did those things, but people made up all sorts of stories. They even said that they killed people and drank their blood because of the communion service. They saw them gathered to pray and reported them for doing strange things. It is recorded in many places. And they said they would legally arrest anyone who gathered at the Mark’s Upper Room church. It was the greatest crisis. This is the Word given at that time. He gave unprecedented words at Mount Olivet. Grasping this Word, World Evangelization occurred. This week, today, you are to enjoy this answer. The most important thing is the Sunday worship. If you only succeed in the Fri-Sat-Sun age, you will be able to change all answers. During today’s worship, though it is a short time, pray: “God, give me an unprecedented answer. If there are people of God suffering, give them unprecedented grace.” Pray as it comes to mind. If there are those with illnesses, give them unprecedented grace and make them witnesses. God hears our prayers. You must have this experience. If there is no prayer answer, that cannot be. He is bound to fill you with better things. This week, today, may you collapse Jericho and receive an unprecedented answer in the name of Jesus Christ. I will pray.

Prayer. We thank God. Let us grasp the important covenant today. Let us grasp the unprecedented, absolute covenant. Night approaches, but let us grasp the absolute goal. By praying to Jehovah, let there be an unprecedented answer where we enjoy the absolute answer. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

What Does Scripture Say?

2 Timothy 3:14-17. But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15 and how from infancy you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17 so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.


What makes Scripture truly unique? Scripture was not authored by the will of man, and its origin is not from this world. It is far more than a history book, a collection of moral guidelines, or a manual for achieving worldly success. It is certainly not merely an ancient religious text for Christianity. All Scripture is inspired by God (2 Timothy 3:16). It reveals the fundamental cause of every problem the human race has faced—spiritual, mental, and physical—and explains the origin of all disasters and calamities that have befallen the world.

Scripture identifies the appearance of Satan as the root cause of humanity’s descent: “The great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray” (Revelation 12:9). Originally, we were uniquely created in the image of God to enjoy and worship Him (Genesis 1:27). We were uniquely blessed with authority to subdue the earth and rule over creation (Genesis 1:28). However, Adam and Eve were deceived by the devil, who planted a seed of distrust by asking, “Did God really say?” (Genesis 3:1).

The devil twisted God’s covenant, exploiting Eve’s imprecise understanding of God’s command (Genesis 2:16-17) to tell the ultimate lie: “You will be like God” (Genesis 3:5). His aim was to seize the entire human race through the bait of self-centeredness. Consequently, the devil became the father of everyone born after Adam (John 8:44). Humanity fell into a state of sin (Romans 3:23) and came under the power of the devil (Acts 10:38). In this state, people follow their own wisdom, philosophies, and traditions (Colossians 2:8), relying on their own “righteousness,” which Scripture describes as “filthy rags” (Isaiah 64:6). This path leads inevitably to suffering, death, and judgment (Hebrews 9:27).

But Scripture reveals God’s immediate plan for salvation. God promised that the offspring of the woman would crush the serpent’s head (Genesis 3:15). To settle our deadly and impossible problems, God gave up His own Son: “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8). Scripture proves that Jesus is the Christ—the True King, the True Priest, and the True Prophet. By rising from the dead, He destroyed the devil’s work (1 John 3:8). By shedding His own blood, He obtained eternal redemption (Hebrews 9:12). By declaring, “I am the way and the truth and the life” (John 14:6), He opened the only path from hell to heaven.

With the finished work of Christ, Scripture invites everyone into the family of God, giving those who believe the legal right to become His children (John 1:12). Salvation comes through a heart that believes and a mouth that professes Jesus as Lord (Romans 10:9-10). For those who confirm that Jesus is the Christ, there is absolute freedom from the power of sin and death (Romans 8:2). The Holy Spirit begins to dwell in, guide, and empower the believer (1 Corinthians 3:16; Acts 1:8), providing a permanent solution to problems of the past, present, and future.

God did not give us Scripture merely for academic study; He wants us to have the assurance of life: “I write these things to you who believe… so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:13). Paul emphasized to Timothy the importance of a Word movement that is alive and powerful (2 Timothy 3:14-17). We must delve into Scripture for the wisdom that leads to salvation and never stop proclaiming that Jesus is the Christ.


Prayer. Father, I thank You for Scripture, Your everlasting Word that revives and empowers me. May the power of Your Word open my eyes to the mystery of Christ and Your kingdom. Use my life to set people free from the kingdom of darkness and bring Your healing to this dying world. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
